That is so so so terribly exciting! I love your writing style and think you are the greatest and now this! What can I say. You are wonderful and I am so happy for you. Can't wait to get my hands on it once it is published...

(clap, clap, clap)

Yowzers Tif, how extraordinarily exciting for you.Must've been tricky trying to keep that little secret under wraps.A book full of Dottie Angel goodness to have and to hold, move over English Country Living.Congrats.

ahhhh a big huge congratulations, miss!i follow your blog and am always in awe of you and your work. not to mention your lovely writing. so i am so happy for you <3

oh i do have one question. i was looking at your photos of your lovely family, and did notice that your daughters wear lovely clothes and i was smitten with their boots. i have been searching ! the world wide web ! and shops abound, for boots like your #1's, with the shoelaces, are they doc martens ?

This is the first time I am replying with a comment, after many months of reading and being continuously inspired by your creativity and your writing style. Congratulations on your big news! It will be an exciting venture for you and also for those of us who tag along on your adventures!

Congratulations!!!!!! This is news of the most wonderful kind and I will have to investigate re international shipping to the lovely land of Aus. Being a woman of a certain age with a perchant for crafting your words and thoughts are most inspiring. So pleased that you enjoyed your time in ole blighty, it was a quite a dull winter here with you away and my neighbour and good friend also returning for a summer holiday in 'the old country' apparently it was not all that summery though. Well congratulations again an accolade well deserved !

thank you all so very kindly for the lovely words of congratulations! you have me beaming with your kindness...

and yes indeed, the boots upon Our #1's feet are Dr Martens... a chip off the old block she is :)i have just finished skyping with her in england, she is now in her new college digs and settling in nicely. she is known as 'the american'!!

thank you again my dearies for sharing my 'big news' day and making it a truly special one, i feel most fortunate indeed :)

That is truly the awesomest news for the angel and the tif and i am so thrilled for them. i will be awaiting the publication of said Beautiful Book with all the breathless anticipation of a nineteenth century herione! Bundles of best wishes! jenx

gosh you really know how to make a woman of an uncertain age living in surburbia 'smile and smile' :)

as for 'pasty pins', they would be my little spindley legs that appear briefly below my frock hemline! always a relief when it gets to 'woolly tights' weather and i can tuck them away for another 9 months!

thank you again for being so wonderfully receptive to my book news! makes it all even more exciting to start work on, knowing you are alongside of me, dearest readers :)

Congratulations of the upmost kind! I have been reading your blog for several months, and feel that this couldn't happen to a nicer, more creative person. I love what you do with vintage items! You inspire me. Looking forward to the book...

I was so-o-o super-excited I nearly didn't check, then something said to me, go Greedy and see how much this is really going to be because $70 US seems a very high figure EVEN for Dottie Angel's book [plus postage]. It IS an EXTREMELY HIGH figure [over £40 in Sterling terms]. I'm afraid I will just have to love and covet it from afar [or save very hard] of I want to have a copy. Big bottoms!

just to be clear, the book on it's own, not in the 'book bundle' is $35 which i believe is around 20 pounds sterling. it is available to pre-order from UPPERCASE and when published, i believe other independent sellers around the globe, including myself :)

i am not altogether sure of the cost of shipping and all the details at this precise moment...when i am, i will be sure to clarify things.

and yes indeedy! let us hope for sneak peeks, i will be sure to let you know :)

I am returned with my imaginary cap in my hand. As soon as I'd clicked the 'send' button I thought I shouldn't perhaps have typed the comment as it may have sounded like sour grapes and not sweet peaches and this was totally unmeant. I STILL think though, with postage, the entire package is EXPENSIVE and at the moment, a super-tad beyond my means. I am however, extremely happy for you because you just so-o-o deserve to be recognised more than you currently are.

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY - I read this yesterday in the Uppercase newsletter and I felt SO SO excited for you! I wish I could bake you cookies and give you a hug! So here's a virtual hug and I'm sending you a cookie right now - your favorite kind :)

Congratulations Tif! I've been telling you that you are brilliant for quite a while now, so hopefully this will make you believe it!

COngratulations, Tif!!! You deserve this so much!!! I understand the excitment, as I had a rather smaller thrilling news myself, but a book is a book!!! What an amazing thing!!! Congratulations again!!!! Hugs, Twiggs

greedy nan sweetie, do not fret nor worry... i totally understood what you were saying, the only thing i can say is the book comes with lots of extras and the pages within are not your ordinary pages, the feel, the texture, the pictures and the journey.the amazing creativity Janine puts into producing her books is like nothing i have seen before... i have waited patiently for a publisher who can translate what i see inside of my head on to paper, i am without doubt that Janine is the perfect fit for a dottie angel book and for that reason alone i am so terribly excited for the coming months and the final product. i have high hopes there will be some available in england and thus, postage will be much better for you my dear :)

and yes indeed! my blog will still be loved and cared for!!! some days may be a little tricky, but we can get through 'a little tricky' i am quite sure :)

thank you again, i feel most humbled and at the same time, gleeful with your lovely responses to a dottie angel book!
